For fans of ""The Hundred Years War on Palestine"", ""I Shall Not Hate"" and ""Mornings in Jenin,"" as well as ""The Autobiography of Gucci Mane,"" comes a gripping memoir exploring the Palestinian refugee experience and the transformative role of music.

A Palestinian refugee born during the relentless bombings of Lebanon in 1982, Sleiman chronicles his poignant journey from refugee to celebrated musician in Denmark in his memoir. Sleiman's family sought refuge in Denmark, where he grappled with the challenges of displacement and cultural assimilation. Against the backdrop of gang culture and social upheaval, Sleiman discovers solace and expression through music, ultimately using his artistry to navigate the complexities of his Palestinian identity and heritage.

Despite being one of his gang's most feared and revered members as a teenager, Sleiman's brush with death prompts a transformative shift, leading him to permanently abandon the gang life and embark on a path of redemption. With evocative prose and heartfelt storytelling, Sleiman shares his journey of resilience, offering a powerful glimpse into the indomitable spirit of the Palestinian people."
